7 Beautiful Videogames We Can't Believe Used To Look Like THAT

[@rameezbucs565]

Hello you've caught me watching Robs great Friday features

[@WEIRDxGRIM]

And it got snake in it, again....

[@rawesome1000]

this is always one of my favorite things about Fridays

[@CBZero]

rawesome1000 ditto.

[@AdamLacy228]

I concur.

[@foreverware]

It's disturbing how well Dave's filling out that dress.

[@darkside-warrior]

- foreverware - Dave Loves it "twas a part He was born for" 🖒

[@gamewithgreg]

Is that Dave? I actually thought it was Rob's mom? Wow

[@georgeslapps6769]

This video is SOO relatable, ps1 used to be revolutionary but now 20 odd years later they are actually revolutionary, you only need to look at the first tomb raider and the reboot that came out in 2013 to see that

[@Gamer88334]

Some people just need to remember that we didn't have the tech to make the powerful consoles we have today, so the PS1 was revolutionary when it came out. Not many consoles could handle games like it could. They probably were inspired to give making, and advertising for, the PS1 their all partly as revenge for Nintendo ditching Sony and making the mistake of partnering with Phillips. I don't judge games I haven't played, but I'm not going to play THOSE games. PS2 still holds the record of most units sold though. I think.

[@tacomantwenty5]

Gamer88 The wii has the most units sold.

[@benjones7828]

I can imagine Rob going into work one day and saying "Guys, I have a great idea for a Friday Feature, but I'll need awkward teenage photos of you all..."

[@yakatsusensei325]

To Be Fair, It Did Pay Off

[@gavin_is_gavin6292]

"it's called the ground when it's outside" -Ron Swanson

[@ONEWAYLEEWAY]

Rob how could you forget Resident Evil!!! On this day of all days 😭😭😭

[@nicholaskennedy6256]

Resident Evil probably could have replaced FIFA, but all things considered the serious feels like it's in an awkward spot.

[@bella_iris]

Ooh good selection, OneWayLeeway. Resident evil would be great for this list.

[@gabe_liu9095]

probably they were number 8

[@Daarvon]

Snow is actually bright af and usually requires sunglasses if there’s a lot of sun lol

[@rocketcon]

Yep, guess Rob hasn't heard of snow blindness.

[@bella_iris]

IDK how it is in England. I wonder if they get much snow over there? I totally get the glasses though cuz I'm from way up north, and holy cow it can get bright with all that snow.

[@lastuchihaleft228]

I would hardly call Hollie's old photo as "awkward"

[@MasterWhimp]

lastuchihaleft228 more like SSMMOKINN...

[@Cry42]

I just want to know how old she was in that before I comment anything...

[@HyouVizer]

Henry Spencer - LOL

[@gundamforreal]

Either way she barely changed

[@SkeletorTclaws]

lastuchihaleft228 she was hot as hell

[@maelleth1]

Dave hasn't changed a bit :D

[@John_Mooney]

Rob is my spirit animal

[@John_Mooney]

username 123 -_- there all mine

[@jrreogreugerugregreger7486]

Young Nath and Dave had me in tears. Well played Rob.

[@calebklassen3692]

Access team you get me through the week

[@bulloguin]

Also Metroid from NES to Gamecube, Super Mario from NES to Switch, Virtua Fighter from Sega Saturn to PS3, Mario Kart from Super Nes to Switch, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter... the list is endless! A lot of great games that defined us as videogames aficionados! Great video Mate!

[@EpiKerCovers]

It's crazy how every game footage shown in the show is captured by you. Fantastic.

[@carlosvinas9625]

I like how everytime you mention a series that started off on another system you find a way to bring it back to the playstation by mentioning its later release (example: ff and mgs series)... i see what you did there, nice Rob, very nice lol

[@giganturdsaurus]

Well, this is *_PlayStation Access._* Everything should lead back to PS. :D

[@ronnie6008]

"Oh, GTA, you were so young and innoc---you were so young..." LOL

[@StrayNebarius]

This channel makes videos that feel like conversations you have with your friends. Thank you Rob Dave and Nathan.(I apologize if I miss anyone.)

[@georgegrimes7313]

I just wanted to say I've loved these videos for years and I hope Rob wins a one on onsie when he loose I loose 😤

[@original4934]

lose*

[@kadajsnightqueen]

Here's one whose "baby pictures" are nearly unrecognizable: Dynasty Warriors. The series started on PSOne, but it was originally a fighting game like Soul Edge or Tekken. It had a tiny roster, arenas, all the usual suspects. Then when the PS2 came along, it was turned into the 1 vs. 1000 beat-em-up juggernaut we all know today, soon to become an open-world pick-your-battles game. It has gorgeous graphics nowadays, and character rosters bigger than most fighting games could dream. Maybe it's not as high-profile as FF, MGS, or PES (you do tend to stick to the same games a lot, Rob), but it's definitely undergone some serious changes since it was introduced to the gaming world.

[@emacgregor2239]

"Mum" learning how to hijack taxis was fantastic. Always a good time watching your videos cheers guys.

[@idhamadi2940]

Cant be more agree with u rob.. Especially final fantasy series.. Looking back at those warior of light was incredible..

[@Darthforce122]

How is hollies photo awkward she looks really good in it😂

[@SweenusSwinginHisDingus]

Game master she looks like the main character of 10 Things I Hate About You

[@guilhermebatista6925]

Mortal Kombat, it was revolutionary then because of the use of real persons for the characters in game, it is revolutionary now because of the amazing story mode, x-rays, variations and complexity of the characters instead of just being a generc fighter in a fighting game, it's just beautiful and engenius!

[@johnmarkalexander8483]

Never played on PSN, but I love these videos every week! Always good for a bit of Rob and Co on a Friday Morn!

[@TurlasThe6]

I like how Rob's mom now plays more games than he does.

[@LuxasVTUBER]

You're a wizad, Dave.

[@emilhaugaard2708]

I’m a wot?

[@simonodomhnaill9304]

Luxra wizard Dave the wizard man who wears pink

[@blakemarsee4801]

Awesome video. You could honestly make a sequel to that video. I love it.

[@ranearia]

Still to this day you have games showing love to these old retro games many of us grew up with.

[@muhammadabuzarkhan7450]

Rob's mom is great . I wish my mom was like her .

[@GoodHunter9]

and beautiful too!

[@bella_iris]

Me too. Rob's mum is the best. And she even will sit down and play some games too. That's an awesome mom. I wish I could have a mom I could play games with.

[@muhammadabuzarkhan7450]

IKR

[@MunchKING]

To be fair, even THAT Final Fantasy I is a massive graphical up date from the original Nintendo look.

[@BijoyKeisham]

"Aw GTA, you were so young and innoc... you were so young..."

[@quiet2365]

I love the Rob's mum character. Makes me laugh every single time. Never out of her nighty.

[@AAAMN-zs1hm]

Next Friday do "7 music or songs in video games stick in your head all day long"

[@kannab6832]

Mine has to personally be tomb raider. i first played it through demo on one of those playstation demo disks that they used to give away and wish they still did. I was so aww struck by the graphics and the fluent game play but looking back now i see how cubed and stiff the game was. Its amazing how time can change your perspective.

[@shugaroony]

I was 20 when it came out and it blew me away. You hear Rob mentioning photo modes in games and how he stares at vistas today; I remember doing that for the original Tomb Raider. Good times.

[@don_p7546]

Liked before watching!

[@willclark9953]

Same

[@pcport2698]

Don_ p75 I waited until the "You've caught me..." bit was over. ;P

[@jedirydergaming9555]

Don_ p75 same

[@crazedarmyof119]

Don_ p75 liked before reading lol

[@hamzaahmed5182]

Don_ p75 same

[@alanl6729]

Boi, haven't even seen the video yet but can tell it's going to be good

[@coyoteartist]

probably because Rob is incapable so far of making a bad one.

[@madMosher023]

76 tallies on the MGS tally chart... That's actually very impressive lol "Impressive, Snake!"

[@SickNote93]

Would it even be a Friday feature without Metal Gear?

[@Jlpeaks]

Gonna be an awkward conversation in the office when Hollie realised you cast her as the healer and not the tank.

[@AresDemigod]

Rob by far my most ammuseing Access member by far to listen too . Great video 😂

[@JarvisSensei]

This video is basically my childhood. Feel so lucky to have been born in the 80s and to have grown up alongside the evolution of gaming.

[@MoviesNGames007uk]

the graphical difference from MGS 1 to MGS 2 was and still is quite incredible!

[@stevesoosay2249]

You really had me with that GTA nostalgia. Thank you rob. You made my day

[@billyrosehag]

This was awesome, Friday features are awesome, you guys are awesome!

[@Aspire85]

Great vid. Definitely makes you reflect on times gone by :)

[@tisaghchase]

Love this list. Brought me back to the days of struggling to get my license in GT. Firt car I bought was a Honda Civic :D Played every Tekken game and it's great to look back. I think you had to press start to continue though lol I remember playing Metal Gear but I fell in love with it with Metal Gear Solid for PS.

[@Parasite1101]

I remember one of the most new and interesting aspects of the original Gran Turismo that people were talking about was the fact you had to get a License before you could race etc haha.

[@mrdillonlowe5740]

All your pictures are so adorable, I loved you guys then and I love you all now. What an amazing and talented access to PlayStation!!!!

[@coyoteartist]

Dave's photo looked like it was taken last week. Not because he looks old but he just looks so much like himself. What would we do without our Dave.

[@russellconn]

This is why I sub to this channel. I love your vids Rob don't ever stop, no really don't I know people.

[@Dubs17]

4:09 You just gotta love a Friday feature with a reference to another Friday feature 😂

[@orangeapples]

I love that nod to the age of Final Fantasy. PlayStation wasn’t around, but here’s a version of FFI PlayStation does have.

[@Krioux3]

It all started with Tomb Raider for me, I love that franchise!!

[@JarvisSensei]

GTA was all about the Killzones and Getting in either a firetruck or a tank and just rolling over cars. Glorious

[@dondaileyii]

Wolfenstein & Prince of Persia are examples I didn't see in this feature. And thanks again for making me feel old. I was 12 when Final Fantasy came out for the NES, 2 years older than you were for the PS version of GTA.

[@Rucy_Ramone]

Rob Is that you In that Reebok T-Shirt??? Because I wouldn't even for 5% would think that was you. Wow! You have changed a lot!

[@oftheBlazingNinjas]

I know it's not as old as all of the games on this list, but comparing the original Ratchet and Clank to the reimagining that released last year is incredible. Oh, and Crash Bandicoot. That one should be obvious.

[@bella_iris]

LOLz. so much of this video is priceless that mentioning any bits would shame the other awesome bits. It's all gold.

[@guitarsimon1]

I have to admit, the wolf paw prints excited me too...

[@roydaniels3763]

WOW it's hard to believe so much time has passed!!

[@kaylawolfie1111]

As a kid, I loved Tetris on Playstation. It was the Pizza Hut Demo. That and the Spyro levels made that demo a great part of my childhood.

[@Anky_A]

I just love these nostalgia-laden Friday Features. :D

[@KindaWellDone]

Another thing I appreciate is not only games looking much better but also the idea of what a game can be has changed so much. Young me believed games were measured by how they pushed tech. It's amazing now that games are treated more like a medium of art than they were in the past. Games like everyone's go to the rapture and the silence speaks my name completely shattered my idea of gaming. And things like journey and flower destroyed my concept of what a game needs to have to be amazing. I would love to see a Friday feature about games that completely changed the concept of gaming, since there is a Tuesday checklist about games that break the rules.

[@cjuiner12]

Awe yeah I look forward to this video all week

[@animillsi3592]

Remembering all of these games from the first time around - never felt older than I do right now :(

[@Randomsae]

When I read the title, I figured "THAT" would be "Awful" and while watching the video, I was right, except not with the current modern definition of the word. When Rob goes back at the old games, he's filled with so much awe at how amazing it looked at the time

[@Acidrain82]

Tales of series, Wolfenstein, Mario , King's Quest,The Legend of Zelda, Dragon Quest, Metroid, Ys, Street Fighter, Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, The Elder Scrolls ,Mortal Kombat, Doom, Need for Speed, Prince of Persia,

[@mattotterpop]

Wow. Those access team photos. Just. Wow.

[@UKgamer87]

The mum bits give me soo many flashbacks.

[@compulsivenerd4333]

This is a very well made video! You think after doing so many Friday features it would get harder. But they manage to nail yet another Friday feature.

[@boktorinator693]

Although I mainly play on my PC,I really like these friday videos. Keep doing what you do guys,you make great videos!

[@rincewind301]

Loved everyone of these games and still do

[@Rpartin93]

I still get excited when I play a game, walk through snow or sand or mud and find that the footprints actually stick around for a while.

[@acex222]

Rob, where can I get that shirt?

[@anneyoder1157]

acex222 ikr?!?!

[@Robzooo7]

I think it's from insert coin, like his much better grey one.

[@KatiePole]

I live for the Rob and his mum segments

[@jaseling]

Great episode Rob.

[@OldChannelBWG]

Its mad that i actually played most of these originals when they came out... Yes starting to feel old now

[@scrubwayspamwich1919]

Rob had a cool dad. Mine couldn't grasp the concept of first person view in shooters. He'd ask, "is that floating gun supposed to be you?"

[@Myles]

Before your introduction had even finished, my mind was already screaming "GTA!" - I revisited the original about 10 years ago and had to stop moments later because the graphics hurt my eyes and brought on a headache. It left me thinking, "How on earth was I able to put up with this jittery pixilated eyesore!?"

[@adrianmaxdenis]

Dave's teenage picture is the cutest lol :D

[@PonmonofNuggetor]

Shoot the Cool Gun 1 looks so weird compared to the later instalments. It’s amazing how far we’ve come

[@brianturnbough4955]

Rob's love for FIFA can drink (21yrs)

[@luke6209]

nathan looked so funny in that picture xD like a 80's metal band haircut

[@shaunmcnamara9772]

First 25 seconds put this video right up there as one of my favourite access vids!

[@flezo83]

Amazing video that brings back memories .......................

[@Mr_Deku_Scrub_]

I can't get enough of older games I just love them. Ps1 classics will always be with me games like crash team racing vagrant story final fantasy 7 8 9 persona resident evil 2 and 3 metal gear solid. Games that will live on forever as timeless classics!

[@brendanward1270]

Friday Features are the best part of the weekend.

[@farmsalot1233]

Love watching this marketing genius.

[@alarsenal10]

This one should have a part 2. I mean there are so many other series to look back at.

[@hotaru1231]

i gotta say, when i first played tekken 7 coming from tekken 3 and 5 i gotta say i am so impressed and amazed by the jiggle physics -nods- very impressive indeed

[@Realbreather]

Can't be the only one who watched that bit with the teenage pics pausing on each one and going "d'awww!"

[@samanthaclyde8688]

1:55 « Oh, GTA, you were so young & innoc.... you were so young! » OMG! I laughed so hard at that one. 🤣🤣🤣 Congrats Rob. Another great video. Also stop bullying Dave. And your mom’s cool. 😉

[@robertmoore4272]

I love the pose for the thumbnail. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@ShinjiSings]

I love how they got around showing the NES-Versions of Final Fantasy and Metal Gear :)

[@ShinjiSings]

But they didn't show the Genesis-Versions of FIFA 94 ;)

[@wilfredochavarria5015]

After a pretty bad Friday (Friday the 13th) it’s nice to watch this

[@essdot20690]

I do not know if it is allowed, but Star Wars as a whole would be on my top list. I remember when my friend told me the PS2 was coming out, and him saying, "The graphics will end up looking better than this." He was referring that the graphics would be better than Shadow of the Empire. I told him he is crazy, they can never get better than the best game ever made.

[@dmann1982]

Other classics that have aged interestingly; Silent Hill, Elder Scrolls, Wild Arms, Diablo, Shock games (started with System Shock now on Bioshock), Street Fighter, Fallout, Soul games (Soul Calibur now), Mortal Kombat, Tales games, Resident Evil, Alien games...

[@mikejjokeeffe8596]

I miss the PS1 start up screen with the PS logo.... lovely audio effects soundtracking in my ears while the SONY logo appeared after it... With good old SCEE right after with the 'windchimey' bit of music, as I called it. My 90s nostalgia is stronger still, now after this. P.S. Rob that black Dog is so adorable I went back and paused the video. True Story.

[@momokara1188]

finally FRIDAY the best day of the week because there is a new Friday feature like if you agree

[@steh8831]

muhammad faydhan kala - Oh hell yeah. 👍🏻

[@rageoftyrael]

That moment when you actually decreased the amount of likes you got because you asked for them, lol.
